Any good music creating software provides the usual enter, edit, load, save, and play functions, but Electronic Arts' Music Construction Set offers much more, and still stands to this day one of the best programs of its kind. If you have a graphic printer, MCS does beautiful print-outs. In addition to joystick and keyboard input, you can use make use of either the Koala Pad or Atari Touch Tablet. You can use up to four voices in a four-octave range, or choose the three-voice, five-octave range option. You can adjust the speed, volume, and sound. MCS lets you choose from thirteen different sound types. To help get you started, MCS comes with well-written documentation and sample song files. The documentation not only teaches you how to use the software, it also provides information on music notation. Notes, rests, dots, ties, time signatures, sharps, flats, scales, and keys are all explained. The only real limitation I found is the 700 note limit, but since the vast majority of songs require less than 700 notes, this should not be considered very important. In short, MCS is a good example of how long well-programmed titles can stand the test of time. Thumbs up!Reviewed by: Underdogs | |
